While we are not sure why Saif Ali Khan, who was part of the earlier Race movies, is not a part of Race 3, Remo D’Souza is directing Race 3 because Salman Khan wanted Remo to direct this movie, and he agreed to be a part of Race 3 only on this condition.

Producer Ramesh Taurani has been chasing Salman Khan for several years to cast him in the Race franchise. Remo was earlier set to direct Salman in Dancing Dad but things didn’t work out, and Remo will now direct Salman in Race 3.

Wondering what Abbas-Mustan, directors of the first two Race films, have to say about this development…Obviously, a ‘Kahaani me twist’ for them.
